Salma Hayek
Actor
Dark and sexy
Salma Hayek got her start in Mexican television productions in the late 1980s before moving to Los Angeles to work in the movies. She had small but memorable roles in
Mi Vida Loca (1993) and From Dusk Till Dawn (1996, with
George Clooney and
Quentin Tarantino), and she played the love interest opposite
Antonio Banderas in
Desperado (1995). Although most of her early films played up her voluptuousness and sex appeal, she also produced and starred in the film
Frida (2002, with Geoffrey Rush), a drama based on the life of Mexican artist
Frida Kahlo.
Extra credit: Hayek is of Lebanese and Spanish descent... She was the voice of Esmerelda in the Spanishdubbed version of Disney's
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996).
